The Holy War the Holy War (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161466249)

The Holy War is a religious allegory written by John Bunyan, the author of the famous book, The Pilgrim's Progress. The book tells the story of the city of Mansoul, which is a representation of the human soul. Mansoul is captured by the devil, Diabolus, and his army of demons, who seek to take control of the city and its inhabitants. The story follows the efforts of the King of the Universe, who sends his Son, Prince Emmanuel, to recapture Mansoul and defeat Diabolus. Emmanuel leads an army of angels and good spirits, and together they engage in a fierce battle against the forces of evil. The book is filled with vivid descriptions of the battles, the characters, and the allegorical representations of the human soul. It is a powerful portrayal of the struggle between good and evil, and the ultimate triumph of righteousness. The Holy War is a classic work of Christian literature, and is considered one of Bunyan's greatest works. It has been praised for its imaginative storytelling, its spiritual insights, and its timeless message of hope and redemption.IN my travels, as I walked through many regions and countries, it was my chance to happen into that famous continent of Universe. A very large and spacious country it is: it lieth between the two poles, and just amidst the four points of the heavens. It is a place well watered, and richly adorned with hills and valleys, bravely situate, and for the most part, at least where I was, very fruitful, also well peopled, and a very sweet air.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
